'Battlefield V' Devs Say Multiplayer Is "Core Focus" Over Battle Royal

4.4
In the wake of Battlefield V’s upcoming battle royale mode called Firestorm, EA DICE reassured players that the developer’s core focus remains on multiplayer and said that the new mode is just an addition to the experience.

Firestorm still has no known release date, but Battlefield V players got a glimpse of the mode recently when a tutorial video leaked to reveal new details. A Daily Order which appeared not long after that leak tasked people with playing Firestorm which means that it can’t be too far away now despite DICE not yet announcing a date that it’ll be playable.

As the developer builds up to the release, DICE tweeted about Firestorm and referenced a tweet from the official Battlefield V account that acknowledge the conversations on Reddit. In a reply to that tweet, a follower asked DICE not to abandon the game’s multiplayer component, the feature that’s always been integral to Battlefield. The user referenced Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and said Treyarch had supported the battle royale mode called Blackout more than it did the traditional multiplayer mode, a sentiment some players might be inclined to agree with.

Regardless of your stance on Black Ops 4, if you’re a Battlefield V player worried about black ops being favored over multiplayer, DICE had some reassuring words to share.


Though DICE has yet to announce a release date for Firestorm, a roadmap revealed several months ago said that the battle royale mode would be out during the Trial by Fire Operation that begins in March, so players shouldn’t have much longer to wait before new information is revealed.

I agree they should focus on multiplayer, everybody is just on the battle royal wave right now because it's hot.

At this point the release will be too late, and won't garner much attention. I think it's how it should be, albeit the amount of time and resources spent could be questionable.

And that's how it should be

I'd say the know that EA's main battle royale at apex now and since they took so long it makes sense that they are gonna focus more on multiplayer

95% certain Dice isn't the one making firestorm I can find out who is if requested so there's no issue with them losing focus
